I just finished with my mid-life crisis and finally am in a spot where I can unpack my studio.
I have been working with glass for over 30 years and have always thought my work as being so so. I know my technique is good but I am never happy with the results. I look at other people's work and see beautiful works of art and want to be "as good as" but for some reason, I can't ever seem to give myself kuddos and not feel insecure when I present my work.
I'm contually taking lessons, buying new supplies but keep just hovering.
Other questions that keep popping into this insecure mind is.. Why bother, what do I do with it, who would want it. Am I just lazy? I love glass and working with it so it's not because I don't like it.
So now I ask all you artists out there: how do you get to a place where you create and not overthink it? How do you accept compliments on your work and not go.. "Thank you but it I could have done a better job", or be in a place where you proudly put your work out there and not be uncomfortable and insecure?
